To promote nonproliferation outcomes in Indonesia by 1) improving understanding of the importance and mechanics of foreign direct investment (FDI) screening to mitigate malign and exploitative investment activities which can undermine nonproliferation objectives and 2) helping build and socialize a body of empirical research on the economic effects associated with adopting strategic trade controls (STCs).

The purpose of this NOFO is to develop basic understanding of CBRNE, detection and interdiction, and improve the Border Security Academy’s mitigation strategies to address illicit transfer of CBRNE-related materials and/or equipment within Panama borders.

Strengthen STC systems in the North Africa region by ensuring that appropriate laws and regulations are in place to control the export, transit, transshipment, and re-export of proliferation sensitive items (e.g., dual-use), maintain end-user controls, controls on providing funds and related services, and establish and enforce appropriate penalties against violators.

The U.S. Department of State’s (DOS) Office of the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (NDF) seeks to award a grant(s) to an institution/institutions to support the mapping of proliferation networks and related illicit actors as well as their business, financial, and logistics networks associated with countries of concern that are or may be facilitating the current conflict in Ukraine, primarily Russia and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and, but also potentially including others such as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), Iran, Pakistan, and Syria, in order to assist partner countries in their counter-proliferation activities, and conduct bilateral, regional, or multilateral trainings and assistance activities to help partners identify and disrupt these networks. These activities may cover the full spectrum of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive applications, to include weapons, their delivery systems, related technologies, and other advanced conventional weapons and conventional weapons as necessary, required, and in accordance with Section 504 of the Freedom Support Act, as amended (22 U.S.C. 5854).

Rapid advances in biotechnology and related sciences are creating new benefits – and risks – for security and other aspects of our well-being. As these biotechnologies and capabilities – particularly those related to synthetic biology – become increasingly available and accessible, not only to researchers but also to nontraditional consumers outside of formal laboratory settings and associated oversight, it is important for the States Parties to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC) to understand the security implications of those developments.

The purpose of this NOFO is to address national security deficiencies in partner nations’ export controls, related technology protection controls, public procurement, investment screening, and critical infrastructure protection measures, as well as build the corresponding institutional capabilities in customs and border enforcement. EXBS seeks to fund implementers to deliver tangible, measurable capacity development and technical assistance programming that helps address these regulatory and institutional weaknesses and facilitate private sector and academia’s compliance with international nonproliferation norms.

The purpose of this award is to strengthen partner counter-IED capabilities to prevent malign actors from exploiting border weaknesses to their advantage. The presidents of Tanzania and Mozambique recently signed a joint peace accord on security and defense, providing a new path for addressing operational and knowledge gaps along their shared border.

The purpose of this NOFO is to provide legal-regulatory technical assistance, advice, and outreach to EXBS partners in the Western Hemisphere (WHA) and the Caribbean, including, but not limited to, Chile, Panama, and Trinidad and Tobago to develop and implement comprehensive export controls to effectively regulate trade and transfers of military and dual-use goods and technologies, and prevent illicit cross-border trafficking of items and equipment that may be used for the proliferation of WMD and advanced conventional weapons.

The purpose of this award is to support EXBS implementation of the U.S. Plan to Counter Illicit Diversion of Certain Advanced Conventional Weapons in Eastern Europe. Specifically, its goal of: Building the capacity of security forces, law enforcement officials, and border control agencies in Ukraine and its neighboring states to deter, detect, and interdict illicit trafficking of certain advanced conventional weapons.
